Getting older, getting wiser?/ 9:29 PM I've attended some birthday parties this year. Even though it's only February, can't be helped when 95% of the friends I know are born in the same year as me, meaning there are more to come. 21st birthday - a day of celebration that's announcing to the world that you're twenty-one! an adult at last! but for me, i'm quite dreading it. Growing up - more freedom yet more responsibilities. Haiz... It's kind of fun to attend friend's parties. It's like a mini gathering of friends and sometimes a surprise or two might pop up cos i might discover that we had common friends etc. I don't complain that the party is sian cos it's such a party spoiler. This is the problem of big parties where different groups of friends come together and each group tend to mingle only amongst themselves. The host is there but, most of the time, not quite there since he/she has to split to attend to the different groups. Yet, being friends, we should make most of ourselves there, bringing up the atmosphere, understand that the birthday stay is doing his best. Entertaining ourselves, being crazy for the once in a lifetime event - true friends understand. Yeah, this sort of reminded me of Detong's birthday last saturday. For the 'finale' I brought up the idea of dunking him into the pool. I think it's retribution for the evil idea and I ended up getting wet and wild with him cos 1) i was too near the edge of the pool and 2) the sucker pulled my hand while being thrown in. As I was in the pool for a good 5 seconds with my wallet n hp (thankfully, I managed to salvage them), I was too happy to be able to leave a deep impression on his big day to be bothered by my own reality. Small birthday celebrations are cool as well. The cosiness and comfort level far surpasses that of the large ones. Playing cards, bbq-ing, talking crap...it's just like another gathering of sort. Similarly, I can play crazy and pull silly stunts just to lighten the atmosphere. Alrite. I'm starting work tomorrow. Somewhat, I 've been feeling the jitters since I got the job. Maybe I'm scared I'll screw things up. Wadever. I'll just do my best and look forward to the potential chio bu at work soon. =) I've also realised how fortunate I am. I'm still young, with many good years ahead of me. Yet an incident left me thinking and feeling so guilty. I'm still pretty covered and protected. The harsh realities of life have yet to hit me with full force. I could sense desperation from the person's tone with regards to his bills and wanting to get a job, regardless of how low pay it is. Yet, I was guilty of rejecting 3 jobs before I landed my current one. Haiz. Maybe I should learn to think more maturely. |
